The Preface.
Villanies of Oates and the reſt of his Perjur’d Diſciples: But (thanks be to God) Tempora mutantur, &c. and Truth daily ſhines more & more.
Theſe Collections (being of ſo much uſe to detect the Scandalous Lies and Falſhoods of the Factious, and to keep the ſtrong-headed Beaſt within the Reigns of Obedience) I thought fit to publiſh, that the World may ſee I have not been Idle in the worſt of times, but have done my endeavour (to the utmoſt of my Talent) for the Intereſt of the King and Government; which That they may flouriſh in ſpight of all his Adverſaries, is the hearty prayer of
Your moſt Humble Servant
N. T.
